Skiing

Qualified ski instructor, ski tourer and mountain athlete — happiest with thin air and a long descent.

Teaching the mountain

A qualified ski instructor, Tess has taught movement on snow the same way she has coached bodies everywhere else — building skill, confidence and control in an environment that punishes hesitation. Altitude, cold and fatigue make the mountains one of the great natural laboratories for human performance.

Earning the descent

Ski touring — climbing the mountain under your own power before skiing it — is endurance, efficiency and decision-making rolled into one. Every ascent is a masterclass in pacing, fuelling and reading conditions; every descent is the reward.
